Meadering spiral...

Ascending gyres

complex dynamics of life

“What is art but life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite?”

Elizabeth Barrett Browning quotes (English poet, political thinker, and feminist 1806-1861)

Meander of spiral waves - Scholarpedia: "Meander of spiral waves in reaction-diffusion system is a rotation of the spiral wave superimposed with a periodic motion which is caused by a Hopf instability or by external periodic forcing of a rigidly rotating spiral wave."

Thinking about form...

Form is sometimes considered a mere spice added by the artist to the representation of objects in order to make it pleasurable. (Rudolf Arnheim)

Form, Shape and Space: "Form and shape are areas or masses which define objects in space. Form and shape imply space; indeed they cannot exist without space."
